At work our fax is still necessary. There are lots of people over here who don't know the first thing about emailing or computers. The art business still deals with plenty of dinosaurs. Also, if something is signed, and can't be dispatched by courier in a hurry, most people consider the fax the next best thing. Beats me as to why but having a paper in hand seems to make a difference. I always try to email people rather than fax but sometimes they are insistent and it must be done.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
